The Internet has drastically transformed the way we look at life. Business, politics, even society itself has been turned upside down by the Internet, and all in the last few decades. Whereas a decade ago, websites were only for the most avant garde businesses and networks, today it is seen as naive for even the plainest individuals to go without one.
